House passes ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- When does a fetus become a viable human being? Considering the youngest preemie to ever survive was around 22 weeks, the idea of this bill isn't really that far off (though I question the timing and current necessity). Four and a half months to make this decision should be more than enough.
California man on church trip washes away over 600-foot Yosemite waterfall
Sun Jun 2, 2013
- There are NUMEROUS 'no-swimming' and other warning signs in that area and the pools above it... signs that actually say "you will die". There are also metal railings and signs that say don't climb over the railings. Also pictograms in case people can't read. And every single time I've been there peo …
One every 18 hours: Military suicide rate still high despite hard fight to stem deaths
Thu May 23, 2013
- The suicide rate for the military is actually slightly lower than the average suicide rate for all Americans of the same demographic (males age 18-60).
Why aren't there more storm shelters in Oklahoma?
Wed May 22, 2013
- It might be worth pointing out that over 13,000 homes were destroyed or severely damaged, yet this resulted in 24 deaths. Seems like a lot of people there already have shelters
Obama outreach effort extends to the links
Mon May 6, 2013
- OJ is in prison, so SOMEBODY has to go look for his wife's killer. BTW, can I make a tee time using my Obama-phone?
'Stand and fight': NRA convention gets call to arms for 2014 election
Sun May 5, 2013
- Hey Eric... maybe we should ask why those on the terror watch list are able to enter our country, leave the country under an alias, and then return again under an alias.
Gun vote stirs passion at Ayotte town hall meetings
Tue Apr 30, 2013
- Gun deaths have actually been decreasing in the U.S. and are now at their lowest level in 25 years even though ownership is at an all-time high. And Austria?? That is one of the most well-armed countries in the world, and citizens are actually encouraged to keep an automatic weapon in the home for n …
More US babies die on their first day than in 68 other countries, report shows
Tue Apr 30, 2013
- The original poster is correct... this article is very misleading. They make their point using total deaths, not the mortality rate. The most recent rate for the United States is 5.9 deaths per 1000 births. For comparison, the UK and Australia are both around 4.5 and Canada is 4.8. The worldwide ave …
Ex-Supreme Court justice has second thoughts on Bush v. Gore
Mon Apr 29, 2013
- Revisionist history to think the Supreme Court "stole" the election. Bush won Florida. Gore demanded a recount. Bush won the recount. Gore wanted only the Democrat-leaning counties to be recounted again. Supreme Court finally put an end to the madness. I wasn't happy... I voted for Gore. But every r …
Justice Department: Lance Armstrong was 'unjustly enriched'
Tue Apr 23, 2013
- Can we sue the Postal Service for using our taxpayer money to fund a bicycle team in the first place? What a joke... this service posted losses of $16 BILLION last year. I absolutely think Armstrong needs to pay back any winnings from his races, but it's ridiculous that sponsors and endorsers want …
